(28,257 posts)As soon as psychos start turning up at schools, shopping malls and office buildings with wooden-stocked, low magazine capacity Remington 750 semi-auto hunting rifles, you'll have a point to make. But golly gee, that doesn't seem to be the sort of firearms the nutcases are going for these days, does it? It's those plastic-stocked, 20-round magazine, <saw it on the latest video games and all those Rambo movies so it's gotta be cool> numbers they're utilizing, now isn't it? See, I've owned and used guns since around 1959 or thereabouts, and I've fired Garands before (the clips make that neat little "p-ting" ejection noise, just like you hear on the first 20 minutes of "Private Ryan" , so your little "functionally identical" tap dance doesn't cut it with me. Talk to me again when you're equal to the task, OK?
